Full Screen Mode + Scale Mode possible?

Post by Niehztog »

Hello,

for the purpose of playing games in a guest system I'd like to use Scale-Mode when In Fullscreen. At the moment when I activate Fullscreenmode, Scale Mode seems to become deactivated automatically. Is there a way to make it work, is it a bug, or simply an unimplemented feature?

Furthermore i noticed a bug: When activating scale mode on my OS X host, maximizing the VirtualBox Guest Window causes the aspect ratio to get lost. In my case I assume it becomes 16:10, which is supposed to be the aspect ratio of my widescreen monitor, but not of the Guest System, which is set to 1024x768.

Any Comments are appreciated.

Greetings

Niehztog

I just became aware that even after rebooting Virtual Box and the Virtual Machine the aspect ratio of the scale mode stays wrong. No way for me to correct it. :(
Someone from the Dev team please help!

You ever find out how to correct the aspect ratio? After hitting the zoom (maximize) button on the window I've lost the aspect ratio from the guest OS. I only get the correct aspect ratio in full screen mode now.
